Cohesive Networks
Cohesive Networks is a cloud networking and security software company that provides virtual networking, connectivity, and policy controls for enterprise and hybrid cloud environments.
- Virtual networking and connectivity software for public cloud and hybrid cloud environments (cloud networking).
- Secure connectivity between cloud VPCs/VNets, data centers, and remote locations (network security and Virtual Private Network (VPN)).
- Network policy, segmentation, and access control across multi-cloud deployments (network security and zero trust networking).
- Tooling and automation for deploying, configuring, and managing virtual networks and tunnels (cloud DevOps and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) support).
- Support for regulated, enterprise, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environments requiring encrypted connectivity and network governance (compliance-focused networking).
More About Cohesive Networks
Cohesive Networks focuses on software-based virtual networking and security for enterprises operating in public cloud, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud environments.
The company’s offerings give infrastructure and security teams a way to create and manage encrypted connections between cloud virtual private clouds (VPCs), virtual networks (VNets), on-premises (on-prem) data centers, and remote sites, using standard IP networking and VPN technologies (network security).
Cohesive Networks software is typically deployed as virtual appliances or containerized components inside cloud accounts, where it provides IP routing, tunneling, firewalling, and policy enforcement (cloud networking).
These capabilities support architectures that span multiple regions and providers, such as AWS, Azure, and other public clouds, allowing customers to standardize on a consistent connectivity and policy model instead of relying only on native, provider-specific constructs.
Enterprises use the platform to implement hub-and-spoke topologies, site-to-site VPN meshes, and segmented overlays, often in support of application migrations, SaaS delivery, or connectivity for partner and customer networks.
The software makes use of widely adopted protocols and methods, such as Internet Protocol Security VPN (IPSec VPN) tunnels, routing (including static routes and common dynamic routing patterns), Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption, and standard IP addressing models, so it can interoperate with data center routers, firewalls, and existing VPN gateways.
Cohesive Networks positions its offerings in categories that intersect cloud networking, network security, and zero trust-style access control, with features for defining which workloads, subnets, or users may communicate across a given tunnel or segment.
This supports use cases like locked-down application connectivity, segmented environments for development and production, and secure links for third-party integrations.
From an operational perspective, the company emphasizes automation and repeatability: infrastructure and DevOps teams can script or template deployments, integrate with Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) workflows, and manage configurations through APIs or IaC tools (cloud DevOps).
In enterprise and institutional environments, Cohesive Networks is used as a software layer that sits between application teams and the underlying cloud providers, giving architects and security teams a consistent control point for hybrid and multi-cloud connectivity, network policy, and encrypted transport.
Within a directory or marketplace taxonomy, Cohesive Networks aligns with cloud networking, VPN and secure connectivity, zero trust and network segmentation, and cloud DevOps enablement.
